MURFREESBORO — Just Love Coffee Roasters has reopened its Murfreesboro location after a small fire in the coffee roasting room was doused Wednesday afternoon.

"We are open and want serve the good people of Murfreesboro. The coffee is still flowing," Just Love Marketing Director DJ Smith said Thursday morning.

Just Love Coffee Roasters was closed after a fire Wednesday afternoon was discovered at the coffee shop located at 129 MTCS Road in Murfreesboro.

Firefighters responded to the business that sells coffee with a cause around 2:15 p.m. where they found heavy smoke and a fire under the coffee roaster, according to a press release from the Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department.

Smith said the structure was not damaged by the small blaze.

"The pictures were more dramatic," he said, explaining the smoke marks seen on the roasting machine are actually from roasting beans, not the fire.

"We do appreciate the firefighters," he said, adding he also appreciates the outpouring of love for the coffee shop from the community at large.

The most damage was to the bean roaster, MFRD spokeswoman Ashley McDonald told The Daily News Journal.

“Employees had attempted to put the fire out with an extinguisher, and most of the fire was knocked down upon MFRD’s arrival," McDonald said.

Because the fire extinguisher was discharged, the Rutherford County Health Department will have to inspect the premises before it can reopen, she said.

She said the fire was contained to the roasting room so there wasn't much food wasn’t exposed to the discharge.

After the fire Wednesday, Smith said the damage from the fire was minimal and nothing structural was damaged allowing the store to reopen quickly.

Although employees had extinguished most of the fire when MFRD arrived, but when crews used the aerial on a ladder truck to get a perspective on the roof, they discovered a small amount of fire had extended into the vent pipe, McDonald said.

Fire Marshal Carl Peas said the fire has been ruled as accidental. No one was injured in the fire.

The Murfreesboro location was the coffee shop’s first. A second Rutherford County location is currently under construction at 2863 Old Fort Parkway in Murfreesboro.

The business was started by Robb Webb of Webb Coffee as a for-profit business that would help fund families who wanted to adopt internationally.
